Psalms 14
Life's Final Choice: Embrace or Deny the Divine Call
Lyrics
The Lord, don't fight Him, (don't fight the Lord)
The advice is not to resist or oppose the Lord.
Just open up the front door to him,
Suggests welcoming the Lord into one's life by opening the door.
When He has found you. (He already found you)
Emphasizes that the Lord has already found the individual.
The fool said to his own soul, "there is no God",
Describes a foolish person denying the existence of God.
But when you die you don't get another chance,
Highlights the finality of death without another opportunity.
One day when you die, you'll stand before God,
Anticipates facing God after death and questions one's preparedness.
Are you prepared to meet your maker? How much time you got?
Asks about the readiness to meet the Creator and reflects on the limited time.
See people focus on this world, and all the problems in it,
Observes people focusing on worldly problems.
And people really believe that there is no problem sinning,
Points out the misconception that sinning is not a problem.
See man forgets that we're man, our life has got a limit,
Reminds that human life is finite.
And man forgets that up above there is a God who's living,
Reminds of the living God above that mankind often forgets.
The fool hath said in his heart, "there is no God when we die!"
Reiterates the folly of denying God's existence at the time of death.
Until (phew), he's dead, now don't you ever fall for that lie. Just listen
Warns against falling for the lie that there is no God.
The Lord, don't fight Him, (don't fight the Lord, listen)
Repeats advice not to resist the Lord.
Just open up the front door to him,
Reiterates the invitation to open the door to the Lord.
When He has found you. (And trust me, He already found you)
Emphasizes that the Lord has already found the individual.
The fool said to his own soul, "there is no God", (the fool said that to his own soul)
Repeats the foolish denial of God's existence to one's soul.
But when you die you don't get another chance,
Reiterates the finality of death without a second chance.
How many signs do you need?
Poses a question about the number of signs needed to believe.
How many preachers, believers, and Godly minds did you meet?
Asks about encounters with preachers, believers, and Godly minds.
How many songs of gospel music have you heard from the churches?
Questions exposure to gospel music and its impact.
How many verses of scripture in all your time did you read?
Inquires about the amount of time spent reading scripture.
Man, time to take heed, there's no excuse for a man,
Stresses the need to take heed and find no excuses.
To tell the Judge in the court room, "I-I never knew of your plan!
Highlights the accountability before the Judge for not knowing God's plan.
I didn't know you were real; I never saw you with my eyes,
Expresses regret for not recognizing God's reality during life.
I never heard you say a word to me since my life began,
Acknowledges the absence of direct communication with God.
God, can I get another chance?
Requests another chance from God.
The Lord, don't fight Him, (don't fight Him)
Reiterates the advice not to resist the Lord.
Just open up the front door to him,
Encourages opening the door to the Lord who has found the individual.
When He has found you. (listen to this...)
Reemphasizes the Lord's discovery of the person.
The fool said to his own soul, "there is no God", (Man..)
Repeats the foolish denial of God's existence to one's soul.
But when you die you don't get another chance, (hey listen brotha, look)
Reiterates the finality of death without a second chance.
You lived your life. You made your choice,
States that individuals make choices in their lives.
God was calling you to Him, you chose to disobey His voice.
Highlights disobedience to God's call and voice.
He spoke to you through many people. Why weren't you listening?
Questions the lack of listening despite God's communication through people.
He spoke to you through what you like to call coincidence,
Points to divine messages perceived as coincidences.
I know you heard the Gospel, how Jesus paid the sentence,
Confirms hearing the Gospel and the sacrifice of Jesus for sin.
He gave His life for you, so you could be forgiven through repentance,
Explains the simplicity of forgiveness through repentance.
So simple, He died so you could get to heaven,
Summarizes Jesus' sacrifice for the opportunity to reach heaven.
But now you're dead, with no payment for your sin,
Notes the absence of payment for sin after death.
Another chance is out the question.
Declares the impossibility of another chance after death.
Way out the question.
Emphasizes the definitiveness of the situation.
